Etienne Gilson's book “Dante and Philosophy” is dedicated to the complex relationship of the great Italian poet with ancient and medieval philosophy, primarily with the philosophy of Aristotle, St. Thomas Aquinas and Siger of Brabant. E. Gilson examines the philosophical functions of Dante’s characters in his youthful and mature literary works, as well as those philosophical ideas that are formulated in the treatises “The Feast” and “On the Monarchy.” E. Gilson's book has become a classic of modern Dantology, an example of the highest professionalism combined with a genuine love for the subject of research. It is translated into Russian for the first time.
